Bumblebee Advertisement

I created this advertisement by using Photoshop and its many tools. I used the drop shadow tool to increase the depth of the text. This tool draws importance to the text. For example in the title I used the inner shadow and outer glow tool because the title is the most important part of the advertisement. I used the opacity tool to decrease "contact katelynn alvey" because that is not the most important part of the advertisement. I used the leaf brush tool because it fit the whole nature theme of the advertisement. It also helped make the quality of the advertisent look better. For the title I used the flag tool. The flag tool gives the text the cool flowing look. For the text below the bumblebee photo I used the arc and crisp tool. The crisp tool gives a cool effect to the text and the arch tool draws attention to the words. I also used the color scheme tool to get similar colors that match good together. Last but not least, I used the picture tool. I used this tool so I was able to have the bumblebee image on my advertisement.

Environment Club Logo

This is the logo I created for the schools environment club. This logo communicates the purpose of the environment club by using the pictures of the trees and the symbol for recycling. The clubs main focus is to keep the earth clean and to prevent global warming. These ideas all being expressed throughout the logo.

After reviewing the color wheel, I choose warm colors to use for the creation of this logo. These colors appeal to the eyes. The colors also reflect the earth-like feel that the club represents. The color yellow sends off messages of optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. The color green sends off tranquil and refreshing vibes. The color red is known to draw attention. All of the colors were used for a particular reason; to attract the eye.

I used several elements to improve the appearance of this logo. I used the drop shadow tool to bring more attention to the text. I also used the outer glow tool on the text to make the words stand out. I made the text the focal point. I did this because in this case, the clubs name is the most important piece of the logo. I also used the drop shadow tool on the trees to give them dimension and depth.
